[ Upstream commit d46fddd52d11eb6a3a7ed836f9f273e9cf8cd01c ]
SCOM error handling is made complex by trying to pass around two bits of
information: the function return code, and a status parameter that
represents the CFAM error status register.
The commit f72ddbe1d7b7 ("fsi: scom: Remove retries") removed the
"hidden" retries in the SCOM driver, in preference of allowing the
calling code (userspace or driver) to decide how to handle a failed
SCOM. However it introduced a bug by attempting to be smart about the
return codes that were "errors" and which were ok to fall through to the
status register parsing.
We get the following errors:
- EINVAL or ENXIO, for indirect scoms where the value is invalid
- EINVAL, where the size or address is incorrect
- EIO or ETIMEOUT, where FSI write failed (aspeed master)
- EAGAIN, where the master detected a crc error (GPIO master only)
- EBUSY, where the bus is disabled (GPIO master in external mode)
In all of these cases we should fail the SCOM read/write and return the
error.
Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the detailed bug report.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
